Thanks for looking into who we are, and how we might be able to help you hire.
Ambient might have been established in 2022, but we brought over 50 years of successful recruiting to Local Government with us.
We are highly experienced; passionate about the sector and the people within it; straight-talking; and laser-focused on building an exceptional reputation.
Within the first two years of operating, we have made over 250 interim placements across 50 Local Authorities. It’s a testament to our reach, our approach, and our hard work.
But don't take our word for it - here is what some of our network say…
“I approached Andy for his help in appointing an interim Director of Finance. He quickly presented a strong shortlist from Ambient People’s network which resulted in us being able to choose between multiple appointable candidates. Not only did we make a great hire, but the strength of the field took a lot of the stress away from appointing to a key post for me. ”
“I have known Liam for many years and worked with him both from a personal contracting perspective and more recently in a hiring capacity. I have always found Liam straight forward to deal with and he has a particular skill in setting out the realities of all aspects of a position or role. This is something I value greatly. He and the team haven’t let me down. ”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Karima over the years on numerous recruitment campaigns, and her expertise has consistently exceeded my expectations. Karima always delivered quality candidates who were not only well-qualified but also a great fit for our organisational culture. What sets her apart is her personal approach, she takes the time to understand the unique needs of each role and tailors her search accordingly. Karima’s dedication and thorough understanding of our requirements made the recruitment process seamless and effective. Her commitment to excellence and personalised service have been invaluable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a recruitment consultant who truly goes above and beyond. ”
“As both a candidate and a hiring manager for Ambient People, I’ve found support and communication to be good both during the process and throughout the assignment. One of the biggest challenges in the interim market is being contacted about roles and then hearing no feedback from agencies, but I would not say Ambient fall foul of this. ”
“As an employer – We very quickly developed a great working relationship with Ambient People in the search for interim finance staff. In that search, AP invest the time to talk to us to find out the skills, experience and price range we are looking for, and then we get back relevant candidates without wasting time. ”
“Ambient people have a deep insight in local government finance resourcing, and the candidates they put forward are true matches, and hit the ground running, exactly what we need. Liam, in particular, is super-efficient and a pleasure to work with. ”
“Liam has demonstrated the ability to understand a brief in detail, provide advice and insight into the hiring process. He is able to apply that understanding and clearly has an extensive network of high calibre candidates to draw on. He has always been committed to making the hiring process as smooth as possible and remains engaged with both client and contractor throughout assignments. I look forward to continuing to work with Liam and would highly recommend him to anyone hiring within the sector. I have no doubt he will bring his high standards of integrity and service to his new business. ”
“I have worked with Max for a number of years now from a recruiting manager perspective. Max quickly understands his client’s requirements and works tirelessly to find the right fit of candidates for interview. I found Max’s advice and understanding of the role and client a great help in identifying suitable opportunities and subsequent delivery. This excellent support as continued as Ambient People have grown as a leading player in the public sector contract market. ”
“Ambient people are different. They do not just provide staff resources that are skilled and talented but also candidates who really “fit” the organisation. What makes them different is their focus on understanding the client and what type of person is needed, as well as understand the requirements of the job at a level of knowledge which is somewhat unique. I have absolute confidence in their ability to deliver good quality candidates and would highly recommend their services!”
